barncobob Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 this place only has a carport, no garage. is there a quality cover that will keep the rain off the bike when the wind blows sideways Link to comment
DiggerJim Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I have a Dowco Guardian and it's just the ticket. It covers all the way down to below the axles. There's a strap that runs under the bike to hold it on too if you want to use it (I usually don't). It has a soft flannel lining for the part over the windshield and has a heat resistant material for the lower portion so you can put it on the bike without waiting for it to cool down.

bmw_keith Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I've got the same one - XL. I think it cost about $100. Also, if you need to pack it, it will take up 1/2 of one pannier. Link to comment
Beheme Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I got a BMW cover for my 1100GS and it had worked extremely well in the rain. I would also suggest that you contact Covercraft http://www.covercraft.com/ and check out the Weathershield products. Regards Link to comment
dshogman Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Also have the Dowco Guardian. Had it for maybe 5 years before I moved from the HD to BMW. Last summer I was in Manitowoc. WI where the company is located. The thread at the bottom of the cover was coming undone. So I took it in to have it sewed up. Got a call the next day to come by and pick up the cover. They gave me a new one!! What a warranty!! Fits the 1200 perfectly. Link to comment
